What should I do with spare PC? (alien.top)

I have a gaming PC that’s been sitting around and have been thinking about finding ways to use it.

Specs:

  • CPU: i9 9900K
  • RAM: 64 GB DDR4
  • GPU: RX6700

My “homelab” - if you can even call it that - is pretty basic. I have:

  • RPi 4 running Pi-Hole and TeslaMate
  • Synology DS218 to backup phones and pcs

Should I repurpose my old gaming PC to a Proxmox machine and run everything off that 1 machine?

What else can/should I consider hosting?

You drive a BMW you should give me a computer. That's how this wealth shaming works right?

Right and Op might be rocking a model 3 on a lease shared with a spouse. Everyone has a story. Assuming he's got a Tesla so just throw away 500-1000 bucks seems kinda closed minded for someone driving a classic sports car ;)

You feel me dog or is this all going over your head?

Lmao I love how you get more ignorant with each reply.

Do you truly not see the irony in your situation?
